This project aims to deliver Pre-Employment Vocational Training to individuals aged 16-24 who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The contracting process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions closing on 7th June 2026. Cornwall, located in the UKK30 region, will oversee this 15-month initiative, funded by the Youth Futures Foundation. The procurement method involves an open procedure under a light touch regime, with electronic submissions through a dedicated portal. Key dates include the enquiry period ending on 27th May 2026, and the award period concluding on 30th June 2026. The total value of the tender is £775,000, allocated across eight lots. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of supporting diverse sectors like Hospitality, Digital, Leisure, Health & Social Care, Construction, and more. The emphasis on supporting individuals, including care leavers and those with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs, indicates a preference for providers skilled in personalised and small-group training environments. The framework favours bids demonstrating high-quality and social value components, making it ideal for SMEs and VCSEs prepared to deliver impactful vocational training. With the potential to compete across all eight lots, this tender offers a robust platform for businesses aiming to expand their service delivery capabilities in the education and training sector. ## Notice Currently, the Youth Engagement Project has contracts in place for service delivery by specialist delivery partners and we aim to replicate this for the YFF - Randomised Control Trial which will be a new externally funded provision. The Youth Engagement project will support the control group participants of the YFF - Randomised Control Trail which has been awarded to Cornwall Council by the Youth Futures Foundation to offer a 15-month project aimed at offering Pre-Employment Vocational Training to individuals who are 16-24 and are NEET. ### Lot Information Hospitality/Business Admin Job Sector Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & PEVT (Pre-Employment Vocational Training) course (minimum 12 weeks) focused on Hospitality/Business Admin Job Sector = in the region of PS125,000 Digital Job Sector Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & PEVT course (minimum 12 weeks) focused on Digital Job Sector = in the region of PS125,000 Leisure Job Sector Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & PEVT course (minimum 12 weeks) focused on Leisure Job Sector = in the region of PS125,000 Health & Social Care Job Sector Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & PEVT course (minimum 12 weeks) focused on Health & Social Care Job Sector = in the region of PS125,000 Construction Job Sector Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & PEVT course (minimum 12 weeks) focused on Construction Job Sector = in the region of PS125,000 Functional Skills Offer Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & Functional Skills Offer for individuals engaged in the provision to access = in the region of PS50,000 Support to care experienced/care leavers Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & referrals to PEVT specialist focused on support to care experienced/care leavers = in the region of PS50,000 support to individuals with SEMH Providing 1 to 1 support to individuals, small group work & referrals to PEVT specialist focused on support to individuals with SEMH = in the region of PS50,000 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047172-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2026 - 31 Dec 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £775,000 | | Lots value | £774,998 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 21 May 2026 at 13:38 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047172-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047172-2026 21st May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f0a57099-0b55-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f0a57099-0b55-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
